Wellbeing, independence and opportunity for everyone.

SYC has a history spanning more than half a century, beginning in 1958. We have helped three generations of people to find a safe place to sleep, develop new skills, gain and sustain employment, finish school and reconnect with their families.

The aspiration to extend and deepen SYC’s services always existed and remains today, which has resulted in significant growth for SYC in its 60+ year history and is well demonstrated in our historic milestones.
